An old man died at home.
Don't be without relatives when you die
The feudal society in ancient times was very concerned about the issue of a family's lineage. It was believed that when an old man died, his descendants must be present, so that when he left, he would be sent away and not alone. Old people don't always have to worry about it in the underworld, and their souls can be at peace. If the old man dies in the presence of all his relatives, it is the greatest blessing. According to legend, the Bai people think that the old man died in the arms of his children and grandchildren, which is also called "receiving gas".
